If the installation produces any warnings, they may point to the cause of the
problem. Correct any issues the installer identifies, delete any Storage
Advisor containers and images and start the installation again.
To remove docker images and containers, run these commands with the root
account in the given order:
1. docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
2. docker rm -fv $(docker ps -aq)
3. docker rmi $(docker images -aq)
Note: These commands will delete all containers in the Docker instance. Do
not run these commands if you are running any workloads other than
Storage Advisor in Docker, because they will also be deleted.
